Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called on the Government to outline the impact new measures will have on our health service. 

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has today welcomed a recommendation that working time in the public service should be restored to pre-Haddington Road Agreement levels from the 1st of July 2022. 

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called on the HSE to take extra measures to protect the nursing and midwifery workforce.

Over 70,275 patients went without a bed in Irish hospitals in 2021, according to figures published today by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.

The INMO has reiterated its calls for hospitals to take the decision to curtail all non-emergency activity and for greater measures to be taken to reduce workplace transmission of COVID-19 in our hospitals.  

Upon the publication of today’s TrolleyWatch figures which show 287 patients on trolleys, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called on the HSE to publish and implement a Plan B for dealing with the capacity crisis that is escalating within our public acute hospital system.
